From a point MM, three rays ML,MN,ML, MN, and MPMP are drawn so that ∠LMN=(7y−29)∘\angle LMN=(7y-29)^{\circ} and ∠NMP=(3y+19)∘\angle NMP=(3y+19)^{\circ}. The two angles are adjacent. (i) Determine the value of yy if the sum of the two angles is 180∘180^{\circ}. (ii) Hence prove that rays MLML and MPMP lie on the same straight line. (iii) Find the measure of ∠LMP\angle LMP.
